Re: Firewire chip or master board for 002
The usual 002 Firewire failure would just require replacing the chip. It's an Agere FW802B (no longer made, some components still available.. e.g. EBay). If you are technically inclined and want to do this yourself you can probalby find posts online about folks replacing their own. Should not be too hard if you are comfortable with soldering SMT components.
Otherwise it is almost certainly going to be cheaper/easier to junk the 002 and replace them with a used one off EBay or similar rather than deal with an official Avid service center. Or better to just bite the bullet and upgrade to something newer (especially if you have the rack model).
